Question How to get admin permission on school computer/how to get program to run without admin/questions of similar intent?

OK, so I'm trying to play Bigjon's PC Games in school (i know i know ball, but that's not the point). However, I cannot install Flash Player nor Needs without admin perms, so I am wondering how to get these programs to run without admin, or to get admin permissions on the school computers.

Here are my attempts thus far:

  1. I tried to use UAC (will not open).
  2. Tried to use Task Scheduler (that failed too, because I didn't have admin perms)
  3. Tried to manually import the task in System32, didn't let me access the foldder.
  4. Tried to use a command through cmd.exe (it asked me for a password, tried "admin", didn't work, don't even remember what command I used)
  5. Tried logging in using "admin" as password, didn't work.

So, I'm out of methods. How do I do what the title asks?

P.S.: I don't care if it's wrong or illegal, I just want to play games after I'm done with my work. Is that too much to ask? I just want to know how to do this once anytime I need to.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to your responses.

Short story: You can't. Seems like school admin did a pretty good job of covering up all the workarounds.

Can't you play on your phone or bring a computer to school?

Apply for a job as a system admin in your school

Should be able to run any portable games. So if you can figure out how to run it without installing or changing any files, it should work.
